30-year-old Yuvraj Singh, who has started training after recuperating from a rare germ cell cancer, was on Wednesday named in the 30 probables for the T20 World Cup. The explosive all-rounder's last appearance for India was in a Test match against West Indies in Kolkata in November 2011, and his last one-day match was the World Cup final against Sri Lanka in April that year. Yuvraj played a key role in India's 50-over World Cup triumph last year, scoring 362 runs and taking 15 wickets in nine matches to be named the man of the tournament.

Seasoned off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, 32, who has been on the sidelines for a quite some time due to poor form, has also been included in the squad. Other notable inclusions include the uncapped Mandeep Singh and Ambati Rayudu, both of whom had an impressive Indian Premier League season five.
